We just came back from fishing July 23&24, and what a difference a day makes. The 23rd was. Good weather day and fishing was great. The 24 th it was raining, Wendy, and rough water. My guide was. Robert and on the tough day it was not anyway his fault. I have had many guides from many places and no...

I have used these people now twice for Salmon fishing and have caught fish both times. They will meet cruise guests right at the pier as you get off your ship and have their boat within a short walking distance. They are very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend them over booking with the cruise line, also will save you money.

This is our third year for fishing with True Alaskan Charters. It is our second year fishing with Robert as our guide. Next year will be our fourth and we'll bring the rest of the family. Robert makes for a good time and an enjoyable experience even when the fishing is tough. However, the State of Alaska department of fisheries...

True Alaskan Charters is a local business with deep roots in Ketchikan operated by Bruce and Keisha Johnstone. Keisha patiently worked with my wife to make the arrangements for my son and I to spend 2 days fishing with Bruce (It was a surprise birthday present.) Everything was taken care of - tackle, boat charter, fishing licenses, lunch, snacks and...

Bruce and crew make sure you are having fun and catching fish! From start to end, it was a first class operation. In spite of pretty bad weather (rough seas, downpouring rain, major wind gusts), Captain Bruce continued to find the fish and made sure we were safe. We were actually shocked when Cedar Lodge (the fish processor), delivered over...

Three of us took a four hour salmon fishing trip on June 19. It was wonderful. Captain Bruce met us on the dock where we quickly embarked on our journey. The limit is 1 king salmon per person. When we went to one spot and didn't catch anything after a while, Bruce moved us to another spot. Here we got...

I enjoyed a 1/2 day morning charter (shared with a couple from a cruise ship).
We were targeting bottomfish and King Salmon. We fished just south of town and caught our limit of Halibut and several cod. We then trolled for Kings and landed one and lost one.
We saw porpoises, a whale and lots of eagles including a few...

We had read some bad reviews and some good review. We decided to gamble and go with this company, boy did we make a mistake!!! The owner met us at our boat and told us that his boat had broken down but he was pulling in a favor owed to him. What choice did we have as it was too...

Our guide Robert was awesome. We caught more fish than any of the other charter boats around us. He was very knowledgable and knew the waters well. We will definitely hire this company again and request Robert.

If you are looking for an Alaskan adventure this is not the place to go. If you are looking for an all inclusive Alaskan fishing trip this is the place to go. The package we took included 3- 8 hour days of fishing and 1 day of sight seeing. The package included fishing with True Alaskan Charters and staying at...
